How did hunter-gatherers get enough salt in their diet?

898 viewsOther

Did they just find salt on the ground and lick it? Did they drink animal blood? Did they drink ocean water (I hope not)?

I’ve always wondered this since I was a little kid.

Licking each other’s sweat (I’m joking).
On a serious note, I feel it was possible to get it from meat mainly. And fyi, a lot of veggies, dairy and stuff have sodium in it. But also considering the life expectancy back then was very low, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people were deficient in it back then
